Replying to LO24991 --
>Even the very old German word "Stunde"=hour
>seems to indicate this "unit which pushes time".
The word in this meaning is still in use:
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
has been translated into:
"Wem die STUNDE schlägt" (bell would have been Glocke).
Liebe Gruesse,
